We are a family of four and this was our first cruise. We did not have high expectations as we knew coming on that this was an old shop....we chose it because of it being within driving distance from our home. The ship itself isn’t terrible (aside from the tiniest pool I’ve ever seen). Most of the crew really do try hard to make it a pleasant experience.

The food is absolutely horrendous. Don’t waste the calories on eating the buffet. You will be really disappointed. The deli sandwiches were supposed to be served with fries but we were told everyone that the fries would be five minutes only to never receive any. You also can’t customize what is on the sandwiches - who wants a grilled cheese with mayo and mustard? Absolutely ridiculous. The best option during the day is Guys Burgers but who can eat burgers every single day?

We had the late dining time and they were really slow. One night we were literally the last table left to get our food. I believe we left the dining room around 10 pm. Who wants to do anything with a full stomach at that time of night? They also do not rotate the menu very much. I’m glad my kids are teenagers because there was nothing for younger kids on the menu.

Balcony

Cabin wasn’t horrible. The balcony was worth the extra cost.
